Macomb County Jail

Specific visitation details for Macomb County Jail weren't available in the sources used here, so plan around common Michigan jail practices. Most Michigan jails run visits through video systems, either at onsite kiosks or through remote internet sessions. Traditional face-to-face visits are often limited or replaced entirely. You'll need to register as a visitor, get approved, then book a time through the facility's scheduling system. Booking windows and rules vary. For remote video visits, you'll need a working camera and reliable internet. You may be asked to use an app or test your connection before your appointment. Expect visits to be recorded and monitored. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID for check-in.

Communication at Macomb County Jail generally follows options common in Michigan jails: outbound phone calls, scheduled video visits, tablet messaging (often with photos), and electronic mail handled by third-party vendors. Non-legal phone calls and video visits are routinely recorded or monitored, while attorney communications may be handled differently. To receive calls, set up a prepaid or receiving account with the facility's phone vendor. The incarcerated person typically places outgoing calls as collect calls or from a prepaid or debit account. Video visits require creating a vendor account, getting approved as an authorized visitor, and scheduling through the vendor's portal or app. Tablet messages and photos are screened, and vendors set their own fees and content rules.

To add money for someone at Macomb County Jail, you'll typically use an online portal, a pay-by-phone system, or an on-site kiosk. Depending on the service, funds can cover commissary, phone time, messaging, bond, care packages, or bill payments. The usual process: select the correct facility, choose the resident, then pick a deposit type (commissary, bond, or another bill). Have the resident's full name and booking or ID number ready, plus your billing details for online or phone transactions. Double-check IDs and amounts so the deposit posts to the right account.
